Hello all, This is my first in wall tank. I decide on the 120 gl oceanic tech tank becuase it fit the space perfectly. The space is good because I was able to utilize 2 closets to hold the tank and equipment. I am having the carpentry work done by a freind, since the gf does not trust me to do it. I do not have a basement so my options were limited in where to put the equipment. The good thing about the wall where it will sit is that it is pretty wide so the room behind it is uneffected. Here are some pics.
The tank unopened.
Holy smokes my freind works fast, He got this almost done in 4 hours.
Here is the front minus the molding(the gf is picking that out)
This is one side, from one closet.
This is the back with plenty of room to slide a good size sump underneath.
This is where I am going to build shelves for a seperate tank for new arrivals and another for the fuge. This is in the closet to the right of the tank.
I picked up a Snapper Reeflo from tony at reef exotics for my return. I am going to move my lighting from my 75gl which is two pheonix14k se on lumnarcs. For the skimmer I still have not decided, do I go with the Octo 250 or 300 extreme or the MSX extreme 250 or 300? I realize they are almost identical but there are some minute differences. I plan to build the shelves this weekend but then I go on vacation for a week(georgia aquarium yeah!). I figured it would be better to leave the current tank running while on vacation rather than take the risk of something happening to the tank sitter on a new system.
